After filling venues around the country and garnering critical acclaim and attention, Sleaford Mods now announce their biggest UK tour to date.
“This is our first ‘posh’ tour; big bus, everything,” states frontman Jason Williamson, of the autumn schedule. “It’s a big deal. Sleaford Mods at Rock City, The Forum, Manchester Ritz etc. Who would of thought it? Not fucking me.”
The tour will follow the Mods' new album 'Key Markets', released on July 19 via Harbinger Sound, and their live shows with The Who and appearances at Glastonbury, End of the Road and Isle of Wight Festivals.
The band celebrate this news today by giving away a free track ‘Face To Faces’, taken from the upcoming album, available now for free when you pre-order ‘Key Markets’ online.
“’Face To Faces’ has been viewed lyrically as slightly redundant by some due to the referencing of politicians no longer with governmental powers, as a result of the last election,” explains Williamson. “The song bemoans the ‘mask’ used by the sentinels of control; no party differs because all serve to uphold the interests of their heirs of our damned civilisation. We are being worn down, stripped and we are ripe for extinction at the hands of the wealthy few. Whether it be Johnson, Clegg, Major, Brown, Blair, Ed Fucking Balls, it doesn’t matter. They are all as one. The only unity in this life is with the rich.”
The album will come in a gatefold sleeve designed by Steve Lippert and was mastered by Matt Colton at Alchemy. Everything else was done by Sleaford Mods. Pre-order the album on iTunes and get 'No One's Bothered' and 'Face To Faces' instantly.
